#1--Russell I can't be too disappointed in this pick because he is, realistically, a huge upgrade (in the same way that the Great Wall of China would be a huge upgrade over the fence in my backyard) over Andrew Walter.

ANything past 40 is going to be an adventure in this game, in particular, for the visiting team. Can't blame Cundiff that much.

Critical drive despite the miss. Bears need some momentum back, or at the very least, to stunt the Saints momentum by taking time. So far, the Saints have played better overall, as the Bears benefitted from their early mistakes. Lost in all the cold weather commentary is that the Saints aren't a "typical" dome team, with the versatility on offense, and a defensive unit that doesn't rely on speed as much as most dome defenses are.

He's young, he's taken the saints on his shoulders, and should only get better from here on in... he doesn't deserve it yet, but my question was, Does he have the talent to become a Hofer?

28 isn't all that young. He'll need at least another 6-7 years of this kind of production and a Superbowl win or two.

At this point he's a much less impressive Kurt Warner.

For sure, but he may very well get there this year... and Kurt Warner was older when he started hitting his stride... my question is hypothetical... at this point in time he's not even at a Drew Bledsoe level
